I'd much rather be able to take my villains seriously.

That's the thing, I don't want him cracking jokes, far from it. I find that when you put such a self-serious character like the Shredder in a ridiculous situation the comedy will flow naturally, because humor is derived from subverted expectations. If anybody tried to write Shredder as a character with a sense of humor it would totally fall flat because it wouldn't ring true, but there can be humor in his actions all the same, regardless of his intentions.
